Your current situation

You’re likely experiencing one of common challenges outlined below, faced by many of our clients. Ambitious and at the top of your game, you’re driven to find challenging and fulfilling work, or to start your own consulting business. However, your fears and belief systems keep holding you back from following your dreams. Or you’re miserable, stressed, anxious or overwhelmed and can’t seem to move forward from your current situation.

1. You’re unhappy in your career and want to make a change

You’re dissatisfied in your current career or work environment, have lost the passion for your work or feel stuck in a career that no longer fits.

You have no balance or not enough time with family, are dreading Monday and living for the weekend.

You want to do work that makes a difference to the world and know you’re capable of so much more.

The solution

Firstly, we’ll help you get clear on your purpose, values and vision for your life and career. Next, we’ll strategically explore different career options. Finally, we’ll set your career goals and establish an action plan to reach them.

2. You’ve got no idea what you want to do next. You:

Feel really stuck, uncertain about the future, or unsure what to do next. This might be creating anxiety, stress and unhappiness, impacting your confidence or mental health.

Want to start a business or change careers but have no idea what type of business to start or which career to pursue.

Need clarity on what you want from your career, business or life in general.

The solution

Our career coaching programs will clarify what’s important in your personal and professional life. This will allow you to set well-defined career or business goals. Together, we’ll create a strategic career plan tailored to your needs. Next, we’ll work through a structured process to get you to your goals step by step. Finally, accountability and support are in place to keep you on track.

3. You’ve got no time

You want to make a change but feel you’ve had no time to consider what you want.

You’re extremely time poor and have no idea where you’ll find the time to start a new business.

You’ve been thinking about leaving the corporate world or making a change in your career for a while. Another year has gone by, you’re stuck in a job you hate and you fear your time is running out.

The solution

Life’s too short to stay stuck in a career that doesn’t fit! By dedicating a small amount of time every other week, we’ll start moving you towards your goals sooner, to guarantee you make the changes you want in as little as a few months.

4. You’ve got big financial and other life commitments. You:

Dream of starting your own business or a new career, but there’s a lot at risk. You’re anxious about throwing away the time, money and energy you’ve already put into your current career.

Agonise about leaving a secure income, or have financial commitments and time out is hard.

Worry about how others will judge you for walking away from the successful corporate career and life that you’ve built.

Need help overcoming fears, limiting beliefs or established thought and behavioural patterns that are holding you back – fear of failure, lack of self-belief, confidence issues or money worries.

The solution

Don’t put off starting your business or new career because it all seems impossible or too hard. Firstly, we’ll get clear on what you want and will work on any limiting beliefs. Secondly, using our structured process, you’ll then explore and test ideas before taking the leap. Thirdly, your strategic action plan will consider practicalities such as how you’ll finance your transition. This alleviates fears, gives you the confidence to act and will de-risk your move.

WHY I CAN HELP YOU

From our Founder, Stacey Back

“I understand what it takes to succeed in the corporate world. The expectations on you as an employee. The challenges related to managing and developing your career – chasing that next client, sale, target, raise or promotion. And the constant struggle to balance your personal life with work. I’ve moved from corporate to start my own successful consultancy and have changed careers twice, so I truly relate to my clients. I support them by sharing the tried and tested methods I’ve used myself and with other professionals over many years.”

Coaching Methodology

Our programs use a transformational coaching strategy based on the Co-Active coaching model. Stacey uses a range of coaching tools and powerful, thought provoking questions to dive deeper into who you authentically are and what you truly want. You’ll start to understand yourself, what’s important and will find the answers that are right for you. This is backed up with consistent action and accountability to create permanent transformation. The model also considers the whole person – when coaching you on issues related to your professional career, we also look at their impact on your personal life.

Your Investment

Our career coaching programs are not for everyone. Coaching requires serious commitment and an investment in time and energy. Hard work and regular action are required to accomplish the goals you desire. You will be challenged and at times pushed outside your comfort zone, but the results will be life-changing.

Stacey offers a limited number of 1:1 coaching spots throughout the year. If you’re committed and ready to take action, please get in touch to arrange an initial career strategy consultation.

If both parties then decide to work together, she’ll ask for a minimum commitment period of 4 months to achieve permanent, transformative changes. Coaching programs are tailored to the individual.

You’ll meet on a regular fortnightly basis for the duration of your coaching program. Sessions will take place in our consulting rooms in the Perth CBD, or remotely via Zoom.
